Many times I ask myself while we're driving somewhere, or in my room alone, or just chilling out on the Internet: is this it? Is this all I have to live for is boredom on line when my friends aren't available and there seems to be nothing happening in my life?
I'm sure everyone has asked themselves these same questions. There is an answer, no. No this is not all there is to it, no there is more to life, and no you are not a failure.
Too many times we go about our lives without knowing who we are, who we truly are.
You of course know your name, your height, weight, looks, and your social security number, but that is not it.
I heard a sermon last summer that changed my life. I couldn't figure who I was, I was so irritated with the things that I did and I felt like I was chasing people away from me. The pastor who was preaching that day said this, "Christ is your identification." Click. Everything in my head suddenly made sense, I had accepted Jesus into my heart, and I knew who he was, but who could he be inside of me? It is still Him. He is the one who will empower you when things get tough, he is the one whose healing power will flow through your hands when you lay hands on someone to heal them. He is the one who knows every little detail about your life and will use other people to encourage, uplift, and cheer YOU up by showing you that he truly cares.
You were born with all kinds of talents, gifting, loves, passions, and all those things truly come to life once you accept Jesus and recognize who he truly is. God made you to be who you are for a reason. You were not a mistake, let me say that again, NOT a mistake. God formed you from inside out, he has a very special purpose for you. One to be his child, for him to love and adore, and he wants you to love him back because you want to! He wants a relationship with you, to talk with you, love on you, just be with you. Two, he has a very special purpose for you in life, to go about his business. And he will show you what he wants you to do in life, just ask him. Whether to be an Evangelist, Prophet, Healer, Intercessor, etc. You are the sons and daughters of the High King. That makes you Princes and Princesses! You have a royal seal on your heart, one that marks you as the King's kids.  If you feel like there are things in your life that needs to change, then change them. But don't change who you are, we all have little things we need to take care of. But we are no longer a part of this fallen world, we have been redeemed from the curse! You can get rid of whatever junk you feel you need to loosen. God will help you, he'll help you get through whatever you're going through.
Don't change who you are because some people might not like who you are, they're just insecure themselves or don't see the plank in their own eyes. You were made very extra special, and God loves you SO much! I can't even begin to tell you how much God loves you. Everything you've been gifted with is there for a reason. Everything you are is there for a reason. I do not count sickness and diseases, those were not put there by God and God wants to take all of that crap away if it is there.
The things you love, was a desire that God put in your heart for a reason as well.
This is my tid bit, let God take you to the higher levels. I can only encourage you, you must be the one to walk in the foot steps of the High King.
Love you guys so much!
